' .BABZBEB'S VACUUM HAIR RECEIVER.

Application fled September 4, 1920. Serial No. 133,672.

, The resent invention relates to what I call a arbers vacuum hair-receiver and aims to provide a device for creating a suction about the neck of a person having a hair-cut so as to suck the severed hairs away into a suitable receptacle. I

As is well 'known,'it is the present custom for barbersto place a cloth about the person receiving the hair out which cloth is drawn l0 tightly about the neck. Invariably hairs get down the neck and down the back of the person and furthermore the hairs-fly all over the floor of the shop so as to necessitate frequent sweeping which causes considerable dustraising and has numerous other detrimental features. The resent invention does away with all these Hetrimental features besides having the further advantage of cooling the person receiving the hair-cut so as to prethe hair to be more eficlently cut with considerably greater comfort to the person receiving the'hair cut. Anqther veryimportant object of the invention liesin the construction of a device of 2 this nature, which is exceedingly simple, efiicient and reliable in use, inexpensive to manufacture, easy to manipulate, light, strong, durable, and otherwise well adapted to the pur ose for which it is designed.

80 ith the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novelties of construction, and inthe combination and arrangement of parts as s will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved .device showing the same associatedwith a 4o barbers chair, v

beFig. 2 is a top planview of the neck mema Fig. 3 is a sectional view therethrough. Referring to the drawing in detail, it will 5 be seen thatthe numeral 5 denotes the bot-- tom or seat portion of a barberschair which is supported on the usual standard structure 6 and the numeral 7 denotes the back of the chair. All of these parts may ,be of any 9 conventional or preferred-construction and are illustrated'herein merely for the purposes of example. A vacuum cleaner suc tion-creating device 8 of any well-known construction is supported below the seat 5 and has associated therewith the usual wellknown bag receptacle 9. An oblong-spout extends from the suction-creating device 8' and a flexlble hose 11 is engaged therewith by a suitable coupling 12. A coupling 14 is provided at the upper end ofthe hose 11. This hose 11 may be formed in a large number of sections, if desired, for making the device adjustablea 1 The numeral 15 denotes a neck can which has anopening 16 in the bottom thereof and a larger opening 17 in the top thereof and is formed with an elbow spout 18 which engages with the hose as at 14. A sleeve 19 is riveted or'otherwise fastened to the bot-' tom of the can.15'as is indicatedat 20 and extends upwardly through the opening 17 This sleeve 19 is preferably constructed of rubber although any other flexible elastic material will be suitable for this purpose. The sleeve 19 is passed over thehead of the person having the hair-cut until the can rests onthe persons shoulder. 'The sleeve 19 should he sufliciently tightto prevent hair from falling down the neck inside the sleeve. When the suction-creating device 18 is turned on, it will be seen that all the severed hairs will be sucked into the can 15 down the spent 18 down the tube 20 through the suction-creating device 18 into the bag or other like rece tacle 9. There is practically no likelihoo of any of the severed hairs escaping a device of this nature and it will also be seen that it constantly creates a current of air about the head of the person receiving the hair cut so as to keep said head comparatively cool and thus prevent the usual accumulation of perspiration in hot Weather.

The present embodiment of the invention ha s'been disclosed in detail since in actual practice it has attained the features of ad-' vantage enumerated as desirablein the statement of "the invention. It is'quite apparent, however, that numerous changes in the dew 7 sign of the parts,

the details of construction, and the combination and arrangement of the parts may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificingany of its advantages.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as 'new is:

1. A device of the class described including a pan having a spout extending there'- from adaptedto be connected with a vacuum creating means, said pan being provided with an opening in the bottom thereof and a larger opening in the top thereof;

- 2. A device of theclass described, including a pan having a spout extending therefrom adapted to be connected with a vacuum creating means, said pan being provided with an opening in the bottom thereof and a larger opening in the top thereof, a flexible sleeve fixed in the bottom about the opening and adapted to extend through the opening in the top. I

3. A device of the class described, including a pan having a spout extending therefrom adapted to be connected with a vacuum creating means, said pan being provided with an opening in the bottom thereof and a larger opening in the top thereof, a flexible sleeve fixed in the bottom about the opening and adapted to extend through the opening in the top, said flexible sleeve being constructed of elastic material.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
